Victorian Christmas New Year Greeting Card Cupid Angel 1890s

The cherub appears to be thinking: 'I should absolutely nail this giant heart to the wall with a pen tied in a blue bow.' Somewhere between Valentine's Day and a fever dream, this figure—dressed in a yellow romper and sporting tiny pink wings—perches on a windowsill next to a wicker basket stuffed with hearts and four-leaf clovers, casually attacking the wall with what appears to be a stylus, because apparently love requires carpentry. The cherub's satchel hangs open at his side, presumably holding more hearts for his unsolicited home improvement project, while a horseshoe and an envelope litter the floor below like the aftermath of a very chaotic secret admirer situation. The card cannot decide if it's Christmas, New Year's, or Valentine's Day, and honestly, neither can the cherub, who has simply committed to doing too much with too little.
